Designed by Robert Perry and built by Mirage Yachts Ltd. in Canada, the Mirage 25 is a compact coastal cruiser with a production run limited to the year 1982. With a hull count of ?, this model represents a specific snapshot of early 1980s Canadian boatbuilding, characterized by its 25.17 ft LOA and 4400.0 lb displacement.
- Best for:
- This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize a responsive, lightweight sailing experience over heavy offshore endurance. Its compact dimensions and moderate comfort ratio make it ideal for those seeking an easy-to-handle sloop for protected waters and short passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a low displacement of 4400.0 lb and a capsize ratio of 2.32, the Mirage 25 is not well-suited for extended bluewater cruising due to its light weight and fin keel configuration. Its design prioritizes coastal agility and ease of handling rather than the heavy displacement and stability required for open ocean passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable to other early 1980s 25-foot coastal sloops like the Cal 25 or O'Day 25, the Mirage 25 shares similar length and beam dimensions but distinguishes itself with Robert Perry's performance-oriented design. It competes with the Catalina 25 and Pearson 25 in the market for affordable, trailerable coastal cruisers from the same era.
